The Illusion of Good and Bad, Animated Short - Alan Watts (Video) | Third Monk

The Story of the Chinese Farmer is a parable about life and nature narrated by Alan Watts, animated by Steve Agnos, and with music by Chris Zabriskie.

The whole process of nature is a process of immense complexity and it is really impossible to tell whether something that happens in it is good or bad.

Because you never know the consequences of the misfortune. Or, you never know the consequences of good fortune. – Alan Watts

Psilocybin and The Psychedelic Experience Creates a Prolonged Positive Outlook on Life (Study)

The human mind expands with the number of new experiences that are encountered. Psilocybin research points to the possibility that these experiences open up realms of consciousness that are otherwise untapped during normal cognitive functioning. Your brain and body remember these states of being resulting in a positive shift towards one’s outlook on life.

After psilocybin injections, the 15 participants were found to have increased brain function in areas associated with emotion and memory. The effect was strikingly similar to a brain in dream sleep.
– Dr. Robin Carhart-Harris, a post-doctoral researcher in neuropsychopharmacology at Imperial College London and co-author of the study

These hyper emotional states are also seen during dream states. By experiencing these senses in your waking life through magic mushrooms you expand your perception and view reality more like a dream long after the initial trip. This helps relieve stress and has shown to lead to a positive outlook on life.

Our firm sense of self—the habits and experiences that we find integral to our personality—is quieted by these trips. Carhart-Harris believes that the drugs may unlock emotion while “basically killing the ego,” allowing users to be less narrow-minded and let go of negative outlooks.

Based on these findings, shrooms may take you on a trip to a happier and more positively charged outlook of reality.

Big Bang Theory Debunked? A Black Hole May Have Started it All (Video)

Big Bang Theory Debunked? A Black Hole May Have Started it All (Video) | Third Monk image 2

The origin of our universe is a touchy subject to some and an exploration of the unknown to others. New information debunks old information and in this age of information new discoveries are constantly made and shared.

Plank Telescope Data Doesn’t Fit Big Bang Theory of Inflation


Planck space telescope creates the most detailed map ever created of the cosmic microwave background, supposedly a relic radiation from the Big Bang. The data reveals the existence of features that challenge the foundations of our current understanding of the Universe.

Big Bang Theory Debunked?

Everything we know about the universe may be wrong.

The Big Bang theory suggests that the universe was created from a single point in the universe but despite years of research, nobody yet knows what triggered the eruption.

It also fails to explain why the Universe has an “almost completely uniform temperature.”

“There does not seem to have been enough time since the birth of the cosmos for it to have reached temperature equilibrium,” researchers explain in the scientific journal – Has The Big Bang Theory Been Busted?

Universe Formed by a Black Hole

Cosmologists have speculated that the Universe formed from the debris ejected when a four-dimensional star collapsed into a black hole — a scenario that would help to explain why the cosmos seems to be so uniform in all directions.

In our Universe, a black hole is bounded by a spherical surface called an event horizon. Whereas in ordinary three-dimensional space it takes a two-dimensional object (a surface) to create a boundary inside a black hole, in the bulk universe the event horizon of a 4D black hole would be a 3D object — a shape called a hypersphere.

When Afshordi’s team modeled the death of a 4D star, they found that the ejected material would form a 3D brane surrounding that 3D event horizon, and slowly expand.

The authors postulate that the 3D Universe we live in might be just such a brane — and that we detect the brane’s growth as cosmic expansion. “Astronomers measured that expansion and extrapolated back that the Universe must have begun with a Big Bang — but that is just a mirage,” says Afshordi. – Did a Hyper-Black Hole spawn the Universe?

The beginning and end of a journey are two sides of the same coin. You’ll know what’s up when it hits the ground. Call it in the air.

Jeu, A Psychedelic Animation On Multiple Dimensions and Changing Perspectives (Video)

Jeu, A Psychedelic Animation On Multiple Dimensions and Changing Perspectives (Video) | Third Monk

Swiss animator Georges Schwizgebel shows us a beautiful view of the world in a constant state of unfolding.

Multiperspectivism and multi-dimensionality are fundamental motives of psychedelic aesthetics and philosophy.  Radically psychedelic, Geroges Schiwzgebel’s “Jeu”, takes the viewer into a dizzying yet joyful world of ever-changing perspectives.

It is in the second half of the clip that things become increasingly dynamic and chaotic, as our perception of the world keeps re-orienting itself to the changing relations of the objects on the screen. – Daily Psychedelic Video
